Teaching To The Text Message


Well to start off i think that to learn how to write correctly takes time. There is more to writing than juss periods, commas, and punctuation. It takes time and effort to become a great writer. While i also feel that me being in college, I have time to perfect my skills and become a better writer. I also totally agree with the article that I read. I honestly think that it is more interesting to practice your writing skills by commenting on videos, interacting with other people through blogs, or even using social media websites. I know that it is all part of a learning experience, but that does'nt mean that the learning has to be boring. I think students can learn more effectively and easier by having a little fun in the classroom. If a student was given a term paper, or a research paper to write, true enough they would try their best at it, but they probrably wouldn't receive anything from it. It takes more energy to write longer papers. By the time your done, you probably forgot what you wrote, because you were to busy trying to focus on completing the paper.

My Opinion on Blogs vs Term Papers

Well me personally i would rather do a blog any day rather than having to do a term paper. Blogs are more interesting to write. It is fun to be able to interact with other people on blogs, because you can comment and receive feedback. I mean who wants to sit up all day writing a term paper that would take hours, rather than writing a blog that would take less than an hour. When writing a term paper it involves thinking logically, you have to focus on the key points , and inform the reader. I would consider writing a term paper very challenging for me because i'm not the best writer, and to be honest Idont really like writing term papers. I find it difficult and boring to research  information on a topic that you know little about, and then having to write a 20 page paper on it.! Now to some people writing a term paper may be considered easy, because there are some that prefer to inform and write, but I would rather keep it short and simple. Maybe one day i will grow to love writing, and everything that comes with it, as of now i would choose blogs over term papers.
